Hi all,
Just to inform about the recent events on how dictatorship in a FOSS project can lead to a complete fork by all developers.
The subject is TWiki and the articles covering this event are below...

As a heavy user, it's quite disheartening that a FOSS project doesn't adhere to democracy and transparency resulting into a fork.
I have yet to hear projects forking in such a tremendous way.
